Software Requirements

Note: If using the official Windows packages, no additional software is required.

Supported Operating Systems

• Linux
• Windows (Vista SP2 or later)
  • Note: The Windows port uses pd0, (pd1, ...) devices for physical drives 0, (1, ...).
• FreeBSD
• NetBSD
• OpenBSD
• DragonFlyBSD
• macOS
• Solaris
• QNX (code written but no testing has been performed yet).

Build Requirements

Note: These are required only if you're building GSmartControl from source code.

• GTK+ 3 library, version 3.4 or higher.
• Gtkmm library, version 3.4 or higher.
• C++20 Compiler (GCC 13 or later, Clang/libc++ 17 or later, Apple Clang 15 or later)

Runtime Requirements

Note: The Windows packages already include all the required software.

• Smartmontools. Windows users have an option to install a separate version of smartmontools on their systems, and GSmartControl will automatically use it.
• xterm (optional, needed to run update-smart-drivedb on Linux / Unix systems).
